We can probably all agree late-night talk show interviews can get seriously silly — even more so when sucking helium out of balloons is involved.
That is exactly what happened Wednesday night when famed actor Alan Rickman stopped by "The Tonight Show."

"The young boy with the scar?" host Jimmy Fallon asked.
"This is very difficult, but it's Harry Potter," Rickman said.
A writer for The Huffington Post said, "Other Hogwarts students can probably just forget about winning The House Cup. All the points to Slytherin after this."
Now the helium was actually Rickman's idea. He said the helium "truth-telling machines" were a way to get back at Fallon who — years ago — held a so-called "Rickman-off" on his show with Benedict Cumberbatch.
"Rollin' down the street, smokin' indo, sippin' on gin and juice. Laid back," Cumberbatch said on the show in 2013.
Yes, that really was Cumberbatch impersonating Rickman while reciting Snoop Dogg lyrics. We've now seen it all.
To watch more of Rickman's helium-filled interview, head on over to NBC's website.
